Background information
On the quiet edge of the forest in Faistenau in the Salzburger Land, just a few minutes’ walk from Lake Hintersee, lies Naturhotel Fischerwirt WaldSPA. The family-run four-star hotel with 24 rooms and suites is entirely focused on its natural surroundings. At its heart is the WaldSPA in the adjacent mixed forest. It consists of freestanding lodges made of Kebony wood, which house a Finnish sauna, an organic herbal soft sauna and relaxation rooms with panoramic windows, all connected by heated paths. A year-round heated outdoor infinity pool offers views over the trees and mountains. Marietta Ebner’s cuisine follows the R-50 principle and features game, fish from Lake Fuschl, and mushrooms, berries and herbs from the local forests, among other things. It is served in the forest restaurant with its moss ceiling or in the low-dining area. A particularly special place to stay is the kebonyLODGE in the middle of the forest, with its own fireplace, private terrace and floor-to-ceiling windows. The Ebner family runs Fischerwirt in the third generation with great passion.
